<p>Is it ok to read teacher recs? Should I ask?</p>
<p>On the rec letter templates is a box to certify whether or not you will read them. It’s your choice. It’s thought that by waiving your right to see them, the teachers will be more forthright and the rec letter will be more objective.</p>
<p>Is it all right to ask? Sure. But do you really want to know the answer? Choose wisely whom you ask to write the rec letters.</p>
